God’s Word: The Material For Your Blessing .
Tuesday, November 1st . Pastor Chris
But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own
selves…But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth
therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this
man shall be blessed in his deed (James 1:22-25).
The Word of
God can be trusted; its integrity is unquestionable. When God wants to
do something new in your life, He gives you His Word; He brings that
thing (whatever it is), into your life through words; through His
message to you. His Word is His material for blessing you. It behooves
you, therefore, to get the Word into your spirit; trust and live in the
Word.
When He wanted to launch Abraham to a new level in his
life, it was through words. He said to him, “Neither shall thy name any
more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of
many nations have I made thee” (Genesis 17:5). In the mind of God,
Abraham being the father of many nations was a done deal. Though Abraham
had no physical children at the time, as far as God was concerned, he
was already a father of many, through words.
Until Abraham
connected with God’s Word, he couldn’t walk in the blessings thereof.
Being the father of many nations was God’s destiny for him; a destiny
created through God’s Word. There’re people who aren’t walking in God’s
destiny for their lives because they aren’t living out the Word. Don’t
assume that as long as God has given a word concerning you, it’ll come
to pass; you have a role to play. You must believe and act on the Word.
You must connect to, and align yourself with His message to you to
experience the blessings thereof.
The Bible says, “Can two walk
together, except they be agreed?” (Amos 3:3). You have to walk and agree
with God for His blessings, His truth, His Word, His will and purpose
to be fulfilled in your life. You have to work out your own salvation
with godly reverence (Philippians 2:12). It’s the doer, not the hearer
of the Word, that’s blessed. Read the opening scripture again.
PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for giving me your Word to live by and use in
altering the circumstances of life and to align with your perfect will
and destiny for me. Your Word produces in and for me what it talks
about, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
Further Study: || James 2:17-23 Even
so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. 18 Yea, a man may
say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy
works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works. 19 Thou believest that
there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and
tremble. 20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is
dead? 21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had
offered Isaac his son upon the altar? 22 Seest thou how faith wrought
with his works, and by works was faith made perfect? 23 And the
scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was
imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God.
